# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ground chicken. Break apart with a wooden spoon, cooking 5-6 minutes until no pink remains and lightly browned.
02 -
Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons water. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the meat is evenly coated and liquid mostly evaporates.
03 -
Remove skillet from heat and allow seasoned protein to rest for 5 minutes to enhance flavor development.
04 -
If frozen, microwave cauliflower rice for 4-5 minutes until heated through. If fresh, sauté in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm. Let cool slightly.
05 -
Layer chopped romaine lettuce in serving bowls. Add cauliflower rice alongside, then top with seasoned protein, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro.
06 -
Finish each bowl with dollops of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, minced jalapeño to taste, and a fresh squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Resting the seasoned protein enhances the flavor absorption and texture.
02 -
Allow cauliflower rice to cool slightly after cooking to prevent wilting the lettuce.
